The emperor finally responded to the heavens! Under the persuasion of Concubine Concubine, the emperor finally made a decision. This news made the officials who followed the emperor happy. {Please read first}

Those who are equally happy are naturally Chen Feng. Most of this difficult-to-serve master are not your territory. Please respond quickly to the heavens and your emperor.

I heard that it is because Liu Ji and Li Shanchang are about to get a choke?

If Chen Feng had a little bit of affection for Li Shanchang before, then now there is nothing left. Li Shanchang has repeatedly made things difficult for Chen Feng, such a person is even more sinister and is Chen Feng's enemy.

However, Chen Feng was not in the mood to care about these things in the court for the time being. As soon as the emperor left, he found time and went out to find Master Xuan Xuanzi with Yu Han. This was what Chen Feng was destined to do.

In any case, after learning that the emperor was leaving, Chen Feng did not have to be happy, but had to rush to see the emperor.

"This time the emperor visited Dadu, and his power was great, which promoted the morale of all the soldiers and civilians of most of me. Most of me were all looking forward to the emperor's staying for more days. When the emperor left, I don't know when he would see the emperor again and listen to the emperor's holy teachings." Chen Feng said, his words were very sincere.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally filtered out Chen Feng's words, and it was true that he welcomed himself and wanted to leave quickly.

"The emperor is far away from Yingtian. I have ordered the Taihu Navy to make all preparations to escort the emperor to respond to Tian. When the emperor came north, he was relatively hasty and neglected the emperor. This time he returned south, they made sufficient preparations, all kinds of food, and invited several famous pits to cook. There were personnel along the way to ensure that the vegetables were fresh." Chen Feng said.

When the emperor came, he personally issued an order to the Taihu Navy and ordered the Taihu Navy to escort it. At that time, when he could not respond, Luo Guanzhong handled it very correctly and sent the Taihu Navy's ship to escort it.

Now that I go back, the emperor will definitely take the water path, so Chen Feng naturally arranged everything.

"No, I decided to go on land." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have ordered Xu Da to lead the army to welcome him on Baoding Road, and the Dadu army will escort me to Baoding Road."

Taking the land route? Xu Da escorted it? And then to Baoding Road? What does Zhu Yuanzhang mean? However, this is better, so that Liu Yanchang would have a headache. When he escorted the emperor, the Taihu Navy was careful all the way, and they were very unaware of this kind of task.

"Yes, it's good to go by land. Then please wait for the time being. I will go and prepare immediately." Chen Feng said.

"Emperor brother, there is no need to worry. Most of the defenders are elite soldiers. Even if they give orders immediately, they will make all preparations within half an hour." Zhu Yuanzhang said. Chen Feng just said that he hoped the emperor would stay, but now, he was in his words and wanted to leave immediately. Zhu Yuanzhang had a very good guess about Chen Feng's thoughts. Chen Feng could not leave yet. Zhu Yuanzhang still had something to ask: "Just mentioning the Taihu Navy, I remember that the main force of the Taihu Navy is said to be on the sea?"

When they came, the Taihu Navy sent ten warships. On the way, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Yanchang kept learning a lot for six days. At that time, Liu Yanchang only said one thing, but now Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that this matter was very important.

When Chen Feng was reorganizing the Taihu Navy, he had considered the future of the Taihu Navy. During the war, the Jiangnan water network was everywhere, and the Taihu Navy could fight everywhere to show its power. However, after the war in the south ended, the surrounding peace was almost useless except for occasionally dealing with the water thieves that appeared, the powerful naval army of the Taihu Navy had almost no other use.

So, what should we do with the powerful troops of the Taihu Navy? It is not far from Yingtian, just a three-day waterway. If there are people who are interested in ginseng, Zhu Yuanzhang may be unable to sleep.

Therefore, Chen Feng had already found another way out for the Taihu Navy. If he wanted not to weaken the Taihu Navy's strength and continue to grow, he had to give them a broader space! It was difficult to show their value alone on the inland rivers. Only in the vast ocean is where they show their skills.

Therefore, under Chen Feng's personal care, the Taihu Navy was transforming from an inland water navy to an ocean navy. This was another major move by Chen Feng. This action could not be hidden from the emperor. Moreover, Chen Feng originally planned to explain this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang and obtained the support of Zhu Yuanzhang. Now, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to ask, so Chen Feng would not hide it.

"Your Majesty, now, our Ming Dynasty has just been established, and everything is in trouble. What we are most important now is to encourage agricultural production and restore the population. I guess it will take ten years for our Ming Dynasty, and even twenty years to restore to the former Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. With the prosperity of our dynasty, foreign trade will gradually become the main source of income for the court's finances. I know that one day it will exceed the tax on land." Chen Feng said: "I have explained this kind of trade to the emperor. Foreign trade, to put it simply,

It is a way for us to plunder the wealth of other countries through the open means of trade. If the whole world was sailing everywhere, our Ming Dynasty fleet would be collected from our Ming Dynasty. At that time, we would reduce the tax on the land and win more support from the people, and our lives would benefit a lot. Our Ming Dynasty people would become the golden clan among all the people in the world like the Mongolians. Our Ming Dynasty would become the heavenly kingdom of the world."

Although Chen Feng's words have something to say, they are also based on facts. Now, in the Ming Dynasty, due to the widespread collection of commercial taxes, it has become an important financial source for the court. In the future, if foreign commerce is particularly developed, then commercial taxes will really become the pillar of the court's income.

Chen Feng's words were very contagious, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face was moved. The blueprint outlined by Chen Feng was so wonderful.

The reason why Chen Feng said this was that, in fact, if Zhu Di had not been closed to the country and cut off his ties with the world, the Ming Dynasty might have really become an empire that never sets.

Now, instilling this idea into the emperor, changing his ideas, and making the Ming Dynasty stronger, is Chen Feng’s mission as a time traveler.

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were indeed changing. For example, in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang was very disgusted with business and believed that merchants did not work and hoarded goods, which was simply a scum. But now, he has adopted a supportive attitude.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Chen Feng knew that his words must have touched him.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, Chen Feng continued: "If our merchants want to sail on all oceans, they will be jealous of many countries. In order to protect their interests, we need to have the strength at sea."

To protect trade on the ocean, a powerful navy is needed! The shipbuilding industry in Jiangnan is very terrifying. When Zheng He went to the West, the huge treasure ship was similar to the aircraft carriers in later generations.

Now, under Chen Feng's instruction, the Taihu Navy's warships are gradually changing to sea ships. Coupled with Chen Feng's already advantage of firearms, such warships are almost the overlord of the sea.

"Our navy not only needs to protect the safety of our fleet, but also needs to protect the safety of every Ming Dynasty merchant overseas, and ensure that every Ming Dynasty man can walk with his chest when he goes abroad. This is the manifestation of the barbarians from all over the world surrendering to our dynasty. If any country does not open its eyes and dares to underestimate our Ming Dynasty, then we will let them taste the power of our Ming Dynasty. If anyone is not convinced, we will beat them to subdue them."

Chen Feng's words opened up a new world for Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang finally admitted that he was a frog in the well here in Chen Feng.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that occupying the entire Central Plains and establishing the Ming Dynasty was an immortal achievement. Zhu Yuanzhang never thought that there would be a cause that made him more excited than this. But now, Chen Feng said that the whole world would be depressed to the Ming Dynasty. People from the Ming Dynasty should also be popular, respected, and become nobles abroad. Moreover, he also proposed a way to achieve it. If anyone is dissatisfied, he would beat him up!

Greater China, a great country, has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. However, those Confucian theories and those of kindness and doctrine of the mean were not believed in for the founding emperors.

If you want to establish a country, it must be a breakfast for the existing regime, it is an absolute thief. Zhu Yuanzhang, wearing the hat of a red scarf bandit, took it for several years, and now it has become a justice side. And if you want to expand your territory, it is an invasion of people who originally lived there. No matter how nice it sounds on the surface, it is actually an invasion.

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he saw the desire in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and knew that he had successfully moved Zhu Yuanzhang.

There is no end to the road to expansion. Zhu Yuanzhang could not refuse such a proposal that could expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty to the whole world and allow the influence of the Ming Dynasty to spread all over the world.

"Brother Emperor, you've spoken so well." Zhu Yuanzhang said for a long time: "If one day our Ming Dynasty really develops into such a big country, your contribution will be the greatest. In order to build such a navy, what else do you lack? What do you need me to do?"

No matter what worries he had about Chen Feng, Zhu Yuanzhang now knew that he would fully support Chen Feng in this matter.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, we are short of everything now. We are all short of shipbuilding talents, qualified sailors, funds, and raw materials. However, I also know that our Ming Dynasty has just been established and everything is in trouble. The important task of the court now is to stabilize agricultural production, stabilize our regime, and increase the population. These all require huge investment from the court. Now, the court's income is not much, so although the ministers have many difficulties, they all find ways to overcome it themselves and cannot ask the emperor for money."
